LAPD Harley vs. Beemer

Was on assignment earlier today and saw these two LAPD motor officers. I asked which bike was better, the Harley or the Beemer? Opened up a can of worms. The Harley rider loves his bike. He told me it was super comfortable to ride and operate. He also told me it made a much cooler sound than the Beemer, and is made in the USA. The Beemer officer liked his bike better because of the superior performance. The Harley comes with air-horns, appearantly the Beemer's electronic horn isn't that loud. The Harley rider laughed how long it takes the Beemer rider to get someone to pull over.
Either way, the LAPD has decided to phase out the Harley's. So keep your ears open for the Beemers.
